Come again?

I've said nothing at all about you bailing on this madness. What I said was, (and I said this originally in a generic statement, not yours in particular originally, but now that I see a link to a thread you closed I'll address it specifically) - that adding a personal opinion when closing a thread leaving the parties you're talking again no ability to defend themselves is not the best way to do it.

Specifically the thread linked just a few posts up: All you should have said was (at most) "There is nothing to be gained from this thread. Closed."

However, in your closing statement when you go for someone else and then close the thread generates more negativity than was there before. It makes, what is otherwise a sound judgment (closing the thread) look more like a ragequit. I am not at all against the closing of the thread, threads need closing sometimes. That one specifically included.

It's just my opinion that there is a separation (or should) between Texrat the community member, and Texrat the Moderator. The moment it becomes necessary for you to put your mod shoes on and mod, you need to leave personal bias and your community side behind for a minute and simple execute your mod job as you must and move on.

This, again, is just MHO. Not like I'll be messaging Reggie with complaints anytime soon.
